First Years Adjustable Folding Booster Seat Receives Five Star Rating from Consumer’s Report

You may think that the best, highest rated car seat would be the most expensive, but this is not always so! This lower price point booster is at the top of the charts for Overall Ease of Use by the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) and just received a Five Star Rating from Consumer’s Report for best performing dedicated high back booster seat. In fact, First Years has more Five Star Ease of Use Ratings than any other manufacturer!

Features:

• Received FIVE STAR EASE OF USE government rating from NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
• Six position adjustable "No Gap" back
• Color coded belt paths for easier installation
• Taller belt path accommodates larger children
• Patented easy one hand fold with built in handle
• Larger headrest lined with EPP foam
• Deep side wing protection
• Side impact tested to international standards
• Narrow bottom rails for better installation in smaller cars
• Flip up armrest for easier installation
• Two flip out cup holders

Your little one will love this “big kid” seat! Best for children ages 3 to 10 (30-100 lbs.), this seat feels more like a bucket seat and less like a baby seat. Graduate your child to this seat and look forward to less struggles getting your kiddo into the car so you can get on your way more quickly! When switching your child over, play up the cool cup holders (“Wow! You get two? One for snacks and one for your cup!”) and that they get to use the real seat belt now! Pair with a couple of awesome travel accessories like the Munchkin Travel Tray, Sunshine Kids Travel Pal, Sunshine Travel Light, and a Sunshine Seat Belt Pillow to create a milestone moment for you and your child!

Britax Frontier - "We finally have detailed information!"

Have you been searching for information on Britax's newest seat, the Frontier? Are you tired of checking Britax's website and only seeing the image to the left? Look no further because we just found out the detailed specs of the new Britax Frontier.

The Frontier™ Harness-2-Booster™ seat is a combination booster seat that will include best-in-class forward-facing five-point harnessed weight capacity and also serve as a vehicle belt positioning booster. This seat is the highest weight rated seat with the use of the 5 pt harness from 25 to 80 lbs and as a belt positioning booster from 40 to 100 lbs. You must secure the top tether when using the seat with the 5 pt harness.

The Britax Frontier will be available in four fashions upon it's release in early May - Canyon, Red Rock, Rushmore & Pink Sky. Click any of the highlighted links to view all the patterns on our website. The MSRP will be $279.99.

If you are wanting even more detailed information, like harness slot heights or seating area dimensions see the chart below. In my opinion this seat will end up replacing the Britax Regent which is enormous and does not easily fit in many cars. It will also take over the Britax Monarch sales as people will not need to purchase a booster seat if they already purchased the Britax Frontier. Britax's competitor's are finally producing car seats that rival some of the Britax offerings - Graco Nautilus and First Years True-Fit Convertible for example. With the Britax Frontier, they continue to push the envelope on feature filled car seats for your growing child. What's next? No word if the Britax Advocate will ever be released, but they will continue to be at the leading edge of car seat safety and technology.
